Hey, there.

What you doing out here?

Actually, I'm uh, feedin' these sharks.

You're feeding them?

You know Foxon island's off-limits, right?

Yeah, I'm very well aware.

I'm actually... I'm part of the marine biology institute.

Is there something wrong with the papers, or...

No, I'm sure everything's fine.

What's your name?

David Burke.

Is everything okay?

Nothing's coming up.

I would offer to go in there and get you the hard copy,

but, uh, you caught me red-handed.

Don't worry about it.

- I'll catch you shoreside. - You bet.

Service out here is terrible anyway.

You have a good one.

Lily Kane,

wife of representative Richard Kane,

was laid to rest this afternoon

at a ceremony in hunters cove.

Though an accomplished philanthropist,

she is possibly best known

as mother of local hero turned multiple murderer,

Bruce Kane.

Honey, I'm about to leave.

Mom!

Knocking really is a lost custom around here, huh?

Don't keep closing it.

Need anything before I leave for my date?

Can you just not?

Take that as a no.

How's the scholarship essay going?

It's good.

It's just hard to talk about myself, you know?

- Want me to take a look? - Not till I'm done.

Did you talk to the recruiter today

about that internship?

No, I forgot.

Courtney, you have to be proactive about these things.

I know.

Look, I know that you think I'm hard on you sometimes.

I am so proud of you.

I'll deny it if you ever bring it up again,

but you're right, and I appreciate it.

Gonna be a long night?

Scholarships don't win themselves.

Your essay is gonna be great.

I know it.

Night, mom.

- Court! - Hey! We're down here!

Hey! Sorry!

What took you so long?

Yeah, we almost came to get you.

Yeah, because my mom would've loved that.

She took forever to leave the house.

You would've been fine. Erica loves me.

No Travis?

Oh, right. Sorry, court.

It's fine. I'm over it.

Let's get out of here.

So what happened?

Nothing.

He's just a dick.

Come on. You can tell me.

You know, I just...

- Hey, Ryan. - Hey.

Brought you guys some drinks in case...

Do you think they'll ever grow up?

Absolutely not.

Good.

I don't want Travis ruining my senior year.

Come on. Whoo!

- Ready? - Bring it.

Um, did I miss something?

They used to do this all the time.

Court's a swimmer, though. She always wins.

Hey, let's go.

Uh, to Foxon island?

It's automated, right?

There isn't anybody there.

Yeah, it's off-limits.

I mean, we can get in a lot of trouble if we get caught.

How can we get caught if no one's there?

She's got a valid point.

We already made you steal your dad's boat.

Please?

Just for a little bit?

- Okay. - Yes!

Are you sure this place is abandoned?

Hello! Anybody out there?

Better to know now.

Just stay away from the buildings.

They probably got alarms.

That's not creepy at all.

Speaking of, when are you asking Jasmine to the dance?

I'm sorry, what?

I never should've said anything.

Too late! Spill.

I don't even know if she'd be into it.

I've seen the way she looks at you in rehearsal.

I think you're fine.

I don't know. We'll see.

I mean, if she says no, we could all go together,

you know, Pete and Kat and...

Me and court.

Like a group thing.

Like a foursome prom marriage pact.

I like that idea.

A group thing.

It'll be fun.

Isn't there a story about this place being haunted?

- There is. - And I bet you know it.

I do.

You're such a theater kid.

The reason why this island is off-limits

isn't because the rocks are too dangerous

or the current too strong.

It's because of the disappearances.

Boat accidents, drownings, shark attacks.

There've been a lot of excuses,

but legend has it the lighthouse keeper, Ernie,

still haunts the place.

They say he killed his wife

and jumped to his death from the top of the lighthouse.

Rumor has it he's still here searching for another wife.

"Don't leave me, Alison.

I love you, Alison."

Oh...

It's automated, remember?

Or is it Ernie?

Yeah, but we really should get going

before my dad realizes the boat's gone.

Fine...

But first, I'll race you to that dinghy.

Any takers?

- Mm-mm. - That's a solid "hell, no."

Cheater!

Ah!

Ah.

Mm.

Better late than never.

Yeah, I miss the days when I had a chance.

I'll give you a real head start on the way back.

Pete, you see that?

I'm sure it's nothing.

Not funny.

It's a little funny.

Oh, my god, Courtney!

Courtney, get out of the water!

There's sharks!

- Courtney! - Get out of the water!

There are sharks!

Get out of the water now!

Sharks!

- What is it? - Courtney, don't stop swimming!

- Courtney! - What?

- Courtney, don't stop swimming! - Get out of the water!

There's sharks! Get out of the water!

Court, there's sharks!

Get out of the water!

I'm okay!

No, don't go back!

Where are you going?

Do you know how hard that is?

Get in the boat!

What are you doing?

Court, hold on.

We'll go get the boat and come get you, okay?

- We're coming for you! - Be careful!

Come on.

Ah!

Here we go.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Help! Help!

Hey! Hey! Ryan!

Hurry!

Ryan! Guys, hurry!

Grab my hand!

What? Ah!

You're okay.

You're okay. Yeah?

You're okay.

Wait here.

So you guys do know that this island is off-limits.

Right?

I am supposed to call the coast guard

- if I catch anyone... - please don't do that.

I... I could lose my scholarship.

We're really sorry. We didn't know.

Yeah, you could've gotten hurt a lot worse.

Look, I... I don't... I don't mean to be the bad guy,

so let's just, you know, keep this between us, okay?

We won't tell anyone.

Promise.

What am I thinking?

You must be freezing. Here.

Let me see that hand.

Thank you, Mr., uh...

Burke. David Burke.

You... you can call me David, though.

Well, this doesn't look so bad.

Let me see what I've got.

Do you live here?

I thought the lighthouse was automated.

It is.

Uh, I'm here for research.

- Research? - Yeah.

I'm a grad student researching sharks, actually.

You guys picked the worst possible place to go swimming.

That's their feeding den.

I mean, if I didn't show up...

I'm glad I showed up.

Sorry.

Sorry.

This is my Alison.

She's my...

Well, she was my girlfriend.

She got in a really bad car accident.

A couple years back.

- I'm sorry. - When did she pass?

Oh, no, she's... she's still out there.

She's been in and out of my life a few times.

You could say that things definitely got...

Turbulent between us, and it's been tough.

First loves.

Am I right?

We really should get going.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Hey, listen, let's... let's keep this all between us, right?

I wouldn't want to do anything to jeopardize the research.

Thank you so much for everything, Mr. Burke.

You're my hero.

David, and I'm just happy that

I was in the right place at the right time.

Oh, actually, David, I'm thinking of majoring

in marine biology, so if you need an intern this summer...

Here's my number.

Yeah, sure. That could be great.

I don't usually get a lot of visitors out here.

Awesome.

- Oh. - No, no, no.

Keep it.

It's cold out.

That dude was severe.

I don't know.

I kind of think he was sweet.

Uh...

Oh, my god. I'm so dead.

Hi, mom.

Courtney, what were you thinking?

I'm sorry.

Is that all you have to say for yourself?

Courtney, you are 18 years old.

You have to start taking life more seriously.

I am taking it seriously.

I take honors classes.

I get good grades.

I'm getting my recommendations.

I just wanted to have fun for once.

I get it, but your friends

don't have what you have to lose.

Their parents can afford to send them

to whatever colleges they want.

Those scholarships are important.

I get it, okay?

- I get it. - I don't think you do.

If something had happened while you were out joyriding

in the middle of the night, nobody knew where you were.

- It's not safe. - We have cell phones.

Erica, why don't we just take a breather

for a moment and relax?

Don't you tell me what to do.

Hey, I'm just trying to keep the peace around here.

Okay, you're right.

I'm sorry, mom.

Okay?

Court, I just...

I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you.

You're all I have.

It won't happen again.

I promise.

What am I supposed to do, ground you or something?

I mean, you've never done anything like this before.

I think you're supposed to let the first time slide.

- Mm. - Like a verbal warning.

First and last warning, young lady.

Thanks, mom.

Morning, mom.

I want you to know that I made a very important decision

this morning, and you would be very proud.

I'm not gonna let myself make the same mistakes

to end up in the same situation.

I mean...

Family is what really matters to me,

and the very first step to a speedy recovery

is a healthy breakfast.

So how 'bout some breakfast?

She let you off Scot-free?

First time offense. What about you?

My mom's been on an extended vacation for two weeks now.

She will never know about last night.

Next time I want to go to a creepy island

in the middle of the night, tell me to take a seat.

Several, in fact.

Even now that your hero lives there?

- Come on. - Good afternoon, ladies.

How much trouble did we get you into?

Next time, he said he's pressing charges.

On his own son?

Have you met his father?

Especially on his own son.

I'm sorry, Ryan.

It was a night to remember.

Actually, I... I kind of thought you were mad at me.

You didn't return any of my texts.

I lost my phone.

I was kind of hoping you had it.

I have that shirt that island guy gave you in my car.

I mean, maybe it's in there.

Is your phone on silent?

I don't remember.

Here. I can check the back.

You should really clean out your car.

It's creative chaos.

Isn't that just an artist's term for being lazy?

Yes, and...

Hello!

- Hello? - Hi!

Uh, Courtney.

Yeah. Who's this?

- It's me. - "Me"?

It's... it's David.

Oh, David. Hi!

You have my phone.

I do. Yes.

I was walking out by the fire

where you guys were sitting there,

and I just saw it, so...

You have no idea what a relief that is.

I'm heading out to the shore later

if you want to meet up for it.

Really?

I'm working after school until 4:00.

Is that too late?

Not at all. Uh, where should I meet you?

Uh, the boardwalk by the beach?

- I'm a lifeguard there. - Okay, great.

I will see you at, uh, 4:00.

What amazing luck!

I don't believe in luck.

- Do you? - Oh.

Um, I guess not.

Well, I'll see you later, Courtney.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

So you're gonna meet him?

Yeah. Why not?

I mean, I can go with you if you want.

We'll be at the boardwalk, Ryan.

I'll be fine.

That tickles.

You know, your brother's got a date.

Hey, Mr. Burke? Mr. Burke.

- Oh, yes. Hi. - Hi.

Hey, I'm afraid I couldn't find your paperwork

for your research on the island.

Really?

Gosh, I hope the university didn't mess things up.

Well, it is a wildlife sanctuary,

as I'm sure you know, so I've gotta double check.

I'll bring those right back to you

the next time I come ashore, okay?

David!

It's good to see you again, Courtney.

Uh... mm.

So sorry I'm late.

It's no problem.

Actually, I believe this belongs to you.

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

My mom would've killed me if I lost it.

- Ooh, we wouldn't want that. - No.

Are you close with your parents?

Yeah, well, as close as I can be right now.

They're separated.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Don't be.

It's important to stay close to family.

Must be hard to do that while you're out researching.

I'm close with my brothers and my sisters.

I'm just trying to patch things up with my mom right now.

Oh, did you guys get into a fight?

You could say we had a disagreement.

I mean, the one time that I needed her,

she turned her back on me.

Oh, I'm sorry. That's awful.

Mm, we're working it out.

Doesn't matter how old you get.

Everyone still needs their mom, you know?

I like that.

It's never too late for a second chance.

Or third.

- So tell me about... - so what do you...

Are you doing anything later this afternoon?

Just dinner with my dad.

You wanna go for a walk with me?

I promise I won't make you late.

Sure.

I love coming here to watch the sunset.

It's the best place in town.

You've clearly never seen it from the island then.

Well, maybe we'll have to sneak back out there

and see it for ourselves.

"We"?

You mean you, Kat, your boyfriend?

Ryan... oh, Ryan's not my boyfriend.

He's... well, he's a really great friend.

I'm gonna miss him this fall.

Is he going off to college?

I'm actually the one that's going away,

or at least I hope so.

What do you mean?

I applied to usc, and I got in.

- Wo... what? That's incredible. - Thanks.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

I just haven't been able to tell my mom yet.

So what's stopping you?

With everything with my dad,

I just don't want her to think I'm abandoning her.

In my experience,

when you hurt somebody or you let someone down that you love,

it's best to just tell them the truth.

You should tell her.

You're right.

Sorry, um, it's... it's my dad.

Guess we lost track of time.

Guess we did.

Oh, Pete's having a party at, um, Woodmont beach

this weekend for his birthday if you're free.

Yeah, I think I could definitely make time

in my schedule for that.

Cool

So sorry, dad.

It's okay, sweetheart.

Who's the guy?

Who, David?

He's just a friend.

Didn't look like just a friend.

Dad, stop.

Hey, it's my job to look after you.

Yeah, well, take a vacation.

I just met him. There's nothing to tell.

Well, when there is...

Come on.

- Courtney? - Who else?

How was dinner with dad?

Fine.

Hand in your essay?

Mom, about the scholarship, I...

what's wrong?

Just one of those days, hon'.

- What about the scholarship? - Nothing.

Um... I'm just anxious.

I handed it in.

Can I read it?

Maybe later.

Ry, you made it!

I am a master of illusion.

- Still grounded? - Yeah, for life.

Hey, man, happy birthday.

Thank you, thank you.

Who are you looking for?

No... way.

I invited him.

I hope you don't mind.

Inviting creepy island shark guy to my birthday?

Why would I mind?

Hi.

You look beautiful.

Glad you could make it.

- Travis is here? - He is?

Pete, did you invite him?

Uh, I didn't uninvite him,

but I didn't think he'd show either.

I'm gonna go say something.

No, you're not.

Who's Travis?

- Human garbage. - He's nobody.

Yeah, he's Courtney's ex.

So what does that mean?

We don't like him anymore?

We do not.

What the hell?

So sorry, man. It just... slipped.

Did you see that?

Yeah, I saw it.

How did it go with your mom and usc?

I didn't tell her yet.

Why not?

Uh, I got home, and she was just...

I think she had another bad date.

- It wasn't the right time. - Mm.

I understand.

I just wish she could talk to someone normal.

All these guys she meets online are trash.

Actually, most men are trash.

I can't believe you did that to Travis.

Sounded like he deserved it.

Oh, he did, but still.

You shouldn't let him make you feel so small.

Sharks, they don't hesitate

to attack someone in their territory.

Why should we?

You like to make everything about sharks, don't you?

Yeah.

I like how they don't second-guess themselves.

When they want something...

They take it.

Is that so?

Yeah, it is.

Like that?

Exactly like that.

I am serious, though, about the internship.

Yeah, no, you just let me know when.

I'll take you right out to the island.

I'll show you the ropes anytime.

What are you thinking about?

Maybe I believe in luck after all.

Guys like you are never single.

What exactly is a guy like me?

Alison, was it?

She didn't know what she had.

She... she didn't appreciate me.

You know, I... I know that now, but the night of the accident,

she ended things, and...

I thought she was my everything.

Yeah, well, her loss is my gain.

- Courtney? - Who else?

How was your day?

Good!

Mail for you.

You're in a good mood.

Talking to a new guy, Jack.

He's cute. You wanna see?

No, mom. Gross.

What is it?

Oh, my god.

What?

I got the scholarship.

Congratulations, honey!

Wait, let me see.

Mom...

It's a scholarship to usc.

Oh.

I didn't even know you were applying out of state.

I wanna go,

and I need you to be okay with that.

Hold on a second, Courtney.

There are a lot of moving parts you have think about.

I am so proud of you, honey.

Thanks, mom.

Mom, I have great news.

Uh, I found someone wonderful,

and she brings out the best in me, and...

I am in control this time.

I really am,

and I know that we promised each other

that I would be careful,

but I want you to know I found my Alison.

You're too sweet.

Well, a pretty girl always deserves pretty flowers.

Thank you.

Step on.

Thanks.

Yep, just toss 'em all in.

Oh, my god.

They don't really venture off too far nowadays

now that they know where the food is coming from.

How many are there?

Mom and ten babies.

- Babies? - Yeah.

Those are babies?

Great white sharks are incredible.

They're almost 5 foot long at birth.

Seriously?

That's cool.

I could watch them eat for hours.

I really could.

But I do believe I owe you one thing,

and that is to see the sunset from the top of the lighthouse.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Wow. Look at this stuff.

It's been here for years.

- Follow me. - Are you sure this is safe?

Now, where's the sense of trust?

Come on.

You're really gonna like it.

I promise you.

- Wow. - I know.

Do you come up here a lot?

Pretty much every night.

Come on. Get in.

It'll be our first official picture together.

I don't know, I...

probably better off without it.

- Come on. - No, I'm good.

What's wrong?

I mean, I don't need an Instagram

to remember what this looks like

or what you look like.

That's very sweet.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

I have something for you.

It's very special to me.

Would you try it?

Can I see it on you?

I love it.

Looks perfect on you.

Come on.

Where are we going?

Shh.

Who's gonna hear us all the way out here?

We don't have to do this, you know.

I want to.

David?

- Hey. - Hey.

I didn't mean to sleep so long.

It's really late. I have to get back.

Of course.

Mom, what are you...

just tell me where you were.

I was outside because...

if you're gonna lie to me, at least do it quickly.

I'm trying!

I was out with David,

- the guy that I've been... - Dating?

Well, not the way you make it sound when you say "dating."

Well, I'd ask you if he's a nice guy,

but that'd be rather rhetorical at 5:00 A.M.

No, mom, he's a great guy.

It's my fault for staying out so late.

This is twice now.

You deliberately lied to me.

Yeah, well, you wouldn't have let me go if I told you,

- would you? - No.

I wouldn't have encouraged you

to make irresponsible decisions,

if that's what you're asking.

You think the only responsible decision

is for me to stay in my room and do homework.

We will talk about this in the morning.

I need a life, mom!

Well, you're gonna have a lot less of one,

because you're grounded, young lady.

I hate you!

She doesn't deserve you, Alison.

To be fair, I think you're blowing this

a little out of proportion.

5:00 A.M., brand.

When has she ever done that?

I still think of her as our little girl.

What do you know about this guy she's seeing?

Nothing, really.

I mean, she doesn't talk to me about that kind of stuff.

You know that.

Would it make you feel better

if I found out a little more about him?

Maybe had her let me meet him?

No, it wouldn't...

But maybe you could anyway.

Consider it done.

- Hi, Courtney. - Hi.

Courtney, can we talk for a minute?

Look, I don't want you to feel like you can't have a life,

but you just gotta involve us in it.

Well, what do you want to know?

Are things serious between the two of you?

I don't know him well enough yet...

But this feels different.

How'd you guys meet?

Uh, he was always down at the Marina,

so I'd pass him on my way to work every day.

I see. Can I meet him?

Dad, really?

What?

You embarrassed of your old man?

I feel like you're low-key not asking.

You didn't make honor society for nothing.

There you go.

I'm just gonna tuck that in there.

Hold on a second, okay?

I've just gotta take this, and I will be right back.

Hey, Courtney.

What a pleasant surprise.

Hi, David.

What are you doing tomorrow?

Um, actually, I was going to ask you

if you wanted to go to dinner at my dad's house tomorrow.

- He... - sure.

Really?

Just like that?

If he's your dad, he's probably

a very interesting man.

Oh, my god, you're too much.

Uh, David, I've gotta go, but I'll call you later, okay?

- Okay. - Bye.

Bye.

- Hey, Ryan. - Hey, court.

- Was that David? - Yeah, it was.

Yeah.

- What's wrong? - Nothing.

I was just gonna see if you still wanted

to do that group thing for the dance, but, I mean,

I guess you're probably gonna ask David,

and that's cool, I just...

You know, I thought that it would be a fun time,

and it didn't have to mean anything,

- and we could...

- Ryan... you're doing it again.

What?

That rambly, socially awkward thing you do

whenever you get nervous.

Oh, then I must still be breathing.

But yes, I'd love to go to the dance with you

and Kat and Peter.

Okay.

Mmm.

I survived a shark attack myself.

It was a life-changing experience.

It really makes you realize the things that matter in life

whereas, in my case, it made me realize

that I wanted the spend the entire rest of my life

studying them.

May I?

But tell me more about you, Mr. Shayne.

Tell me about that environmental remediation business.

Fascinating, and I see where Courtney gets it from.

She is my everything.

I'll get it!

- So this must be Daniel. - Yes, sir.

David, dad.

Yeah, David, David Burke.

Nice to meet you, David.

Nice to meet you. This is for you, Mr. Shayne.

Oh.

That's very nice of you, David.

- Did you tell him? - No, I swear.

Do you not, uh, like red?

No, it's... it's actually the only one I drink.

Oh! Great minds think alike.

I guess so. Why don't I pour you a glass?

Oh, I’m... I'm just fine, sir.

Good, 'cause that was a trick question.

Okay.

Come on. Dinner's almost ready.

So, David, what do you do?

He's in high school, dad.

What school?

Uh... hunter's cove high.

Oh, great. That's not too far away.

You going to college in the fall?

Yes, sir.

I, uh... I wanna study sharks.

Why sharks?

Why not?

I mean, there are so many similarities

between people and sharks

that we would never really fully understand.

See, sharks swim in schools.

When one shark realizes that there's a threat

between another shark and their prey,

they'll turn against each other.

It's only the smartest sharks and the strongest sharks

that survive.

They're actually so competitive that when they're in the womb,

some of them actually eat each other,

which means that when they're born,

it really is only the strongest that come out.

That's really interesting, right, dad?

Yeah. Sure is, court.

You know, David, it really seems like you've done your research.

I have.

But it's not really the work

that matters to me.

I think the most important things in life

are the, you know...

family, travel.

You know, those are the things that matter to me.

- You travel much? - Absolutely.

We... we head to New Hampshire every winter for skiing.

It's kind of like a family tradition, you know?

We do know, actually.

- We go every year too. - Huh.

That's quite a coincidence. What's your favorite mountain?

Bennington.

Yeah.

Isn't that in Vermont?

Dad.

You know, Mr. Shayne, I think you're right.

I just got a little mixed up there.

Um...

It happens.

Do you want help?

Uh, let me clear the dishes for you two,

of course.

You're screwing it up.

He's gonna come between us. You know that.

He's gonna come between us.

You know, my daughter really seems to like you.

I'm quite fond of her myself, Mr. Shayne.

A girl like that does not come around every day.

You don't fool me, David.

I don't think you're telling me the truth.

More importantly, I don't think

you're telling my daughter the truth.

Well, that's where you're wrong, Mr. Shayne.

I care about your daughter more than words.

I w... I wouldn't do anything to hurt her.

I wouldn't do anything to tear her family apart.

Our family is none of your business.

Mm-hmm. It is my business.

I'm the one that she goes to

when I need to wipe her tears away.

I'm there now.

I'm the one that she needs to talk to now

when there's a problem.

And there will be no one

that comes between me and my Alison.

Alison?

Oh, my god.

It's time for you to leave, David.

Courtney, let's get out of here.

Courtney, baby, come on.

Leave, David.

It's time for you to leave, David.

See, you don't understand. We are meant to be together.

I said leave.

I can't live without you.

David.

I wear all of this nice clothing for you.

I buy your favorite bottle of wine.

I ooh and I ah and make stupid small talk

to all your dumb family photos.

And you know what?

The entire time,

you were just waiting to stab me in the back.

David, stop.

Get out!

I'm sorry, Courtney.

It's okay.

Hey, Branden, what can I do for you?

Hey.

Yeah, sorry to bother you so late.

Listen, do you know of a kid named David Burke?

Burke?

Oh, wait, the researcher on Foxon island?

I think that's his name.

No, I'm looking for a high school kid

from hunter's cove.

He's always hanging around the docks.

Figured you might have seen him.

No, I don't think so,

but I'll give you a call if I do.

Is everything all right?

Yeah. Everything's fine.

Yeah, thanks, Chuck.

Court, can I come in?

I'm... I'm sorry about the usc thing.

I want you to know I'm okay with it.

I'm gonna miss you, though.

Thanks, mom.

As for David,

I'm not gonna have the right thing to say

to make you feel better.

But I can say

it's gonna hurt.

And then one day, it'll hurt a little less...

Then a little less.

As much as you think you know someone,

there's always a chance they'll disappoint you.

I thought he was perfect.

I know you did.

It's okay.

I never wanna see him again.

Don't worry.

You won't have to.

Hey. How you holding up?

Oh, I'm so embarrassed, Kat.

I just wanna curl up and die. Ugh.

"Please forgive me. David."

Yeah.

And there's that.

Courtney.

I want to apologize.

I wanna make things right.

I know that you haven't really

been returning my texts or my... my calls.

Maybe you should take a hint, then.

Please.

We're meant to be together.

You need to back off.

Court, is that what you want?

Leave me alone, David.

Okay.

But I will always be there for you.

Family always looks after their own.

We are not family.

What do I do?

Just let her go, David.

Great.

Looks like you're finally gonna get to see

how I feed those sharks.

I called the oceanic institute, Mr. Burke,

and we couldn't find any record of your work here.

I really need to insist on seeing those papers.

It's no problem at all.

I actually got the papers

right on the boat right here.

You just come on down.

Would you mind holding this for a second?

Um, okay.

Ooh, that is heavy.

Ah, okay.

Excuse me.

This should, uh,

definitely tie things up.

What's that?

Weights.

And now, Chuck,

you get to see how I feed my sharks.

Oh, gosh, I am so sorry to have to do this to you, Chuck,

but yeah, the kiddos down there, they get hungry

and they definitely like a meal that fights back.

Bye-bye now.

Listen, I wanna talk to you about David.

Don't worry.

It's over.

If he harasses you or does anything

to make you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me.

Okay.

That won't happen, but I appreciate it.

Yeah.

The whole time he was in the house,

i-i-i knew something was off.

He just wasn't right.

If I could find him, I'd get a restraining order.

Trust me, I'd like to do the same.

Or I could just show up at his house

and make sure he knows to stay away the old-fashioned way.

Branden.

I know.

I know.

She is smart and resilient.

She will move on before we know it.

I wish it was that easy to move on.

You'll get there.

I have a good feeling about Jack.

You deserve the same.

Thanks.

At least we're both staying in Courtney's life.

I will always be there for you, Ali.

Come on.

Hey! No roughhousing!

You're gonna be late.

Coming, mom!

Did you ask her to the dance yet?

No.

But I will.

My mom always says you have to be proactive

about the things you want...

Not that it worked out for me, though.

Court?

You okay?

I'm late.

No, we've actually have a few minutes.

No, Kat.

I'm late.

Okay.

Oh!

I'm gonna be a father!

Courtney?

Who else?

How was your day?

Mail.

How was your date?

It was actually pretty great.

Jack's coming over later tonight if you wanna meet him.

No, thanks.

Suit yourself.

This one's for you.

What are you expecting?

What is it?

Um, nothing, just a shirt I left at Kat's.

I'll be in my room, okay?

Hey, court.

We need to talk... in private.

- What's up? - I trusted you.

You promised me you wouldn't tell anyone.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

You were the only one that knew I might be....

I swear, court, I didn't tell anybody.

You didn't send me this?

No.

It is a little funny, though.

You know...

Everyone always asks me why I'm friends with you

because of what an asshole you can be.

Courtney, that's not fair.

And I defend you every time.

Maybe they're right.

Courtney, stop. Please!

Just don't!

Hey, dad. It's me.

You're probably on a job right now.

Call me when you get this, okay?

Love you.

Yeah, I can get those for you tomorrow.

Any faster?

- Can you get it any quicker? - Hang on.

All right.

I'll call you back.

I wonder who that could be.

Handsome man.

David!

Open the door, David!

David!

Oh, you are awake.

That's good.

You know, there's something I wanted to bring up with you.

Um, I couldn't help but notice

that when I was giving you the shark facts at the table,

you didn't seem remotely interested.

And to be honest with you, Branden,

it hurt my feelings.

But here's something I guarantee you will find interesting now.

Sharks don't have any hands,

so the only way for them to feel something...

Is to bite it.

That first bite, that's called a test bite.

But you know what's really sad, Branden,

is the fact that you are not going to live

to be a grandfather.

Oh! She didn't tell you.

Dude, my gosh.

That, uh...

that must sting.

And I'm sorry.

Oh well.

Courtney? Is that you?

Didn't expect you home so early.

Yeah, skipped study period.

Honey, Jack is here, my friend from online.

Come say hello.

Okay.

He hurt his ankle, so he's gonna be staying with us

for a few days until he can get up his steps.

Hello, Courtney.

Courtney, this is Jack.

It's wonderful to meet you.

I have, uh...

Heard so much about you.

Feeling sick, hon? You don't look so good.

I'm fine.

That's probably why she's here so early.

Otherwise, you know, you wouldn't wanna

skip a period.

You're right. I'm not... feeling too hot.

I'm gonna go lie down.

I'm sorry about that.

She's still not comfortable with me dating.

Oh, totally understandable.

Hi, sweetheart.

What are you do...

shh.

Let's not be stupid.

What do you want?

Things are very different now,

and I need to protect our child.

How do... how do you know?

I know everything about our family.

Oh.

Listen. Listen to me.

There... there's no tears.

This is a celebration.

We are gonna be one big, happy family...

One way or another.

And his real name is what again, exactly?

David Burke.

I know it sounds crazy, I know, but I swear it's all true.

Just a moment.

Look, miss, I have to be honest with you.

We've already received a call from a Mr...

Jack Curtis about you.

I suggest you think hard about what you say next.

Court, you can't just let him keep doing this.

I know, Ryan.

This is genuinely

the most messed-up thing I've ever heard.

I don't know what to do.

You need to tell your mom...

immediately.

- I said I know! - Shh!

It's just not that easy.

All right.

What's going on?

Thank you, Kat.

Look, do you guys have anything...

uh, a photo, a video, a message, a scrapbook doodle,

anything... that shows David?

Everything all right?

Of course.

Uh, mom, can you help me with this math problem?

Sure.

Honey, what is this?

E-Everything all right?

Yeah.

Great job, everyone.

Thank you.

That's all for today.

Practice your parts over the weekend.

Hey, uh, great job

with the light cues, Kat.

Thanks!

Now or never.

Don't wait for me.

Hey, Jasmine.

Would you, um,

wanna be my date to the dance next week?

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean of course, yes.

Great!

Okay, uh, I'll... Text you later.

Great, yeah, cool.

See you. Bye.

Bye.

Peter?

You running the finale?

Seemed appropriate.

David.

Courtney's not here.

I know that.

I'm actually here to see you, kitty Kat.

I'm not gonna help you.

Oh, I don't need your help at all.

There are other ways to send her a message.

Yeah?

How's that?

Hmm.

First I'm gonna kill you,

and then I'm gonna frame her for murder.

Picked a good time to try.

I thought I heard a kitty Kat.

Here, kitty.

Please, please.

Please.

You don't have to do this.

No.

No!

Hey, court.

Let me.

Thank you.

Courtney?

Dinner!

I'll get it.

- Courtney Alice shayne? - Yeah?

Come with us to the station

and answer a few questions

about the murder of Katharine Castillo.

Kat's dead?

I'm sure there's some sort of mistake.

No mistake.

Please, you have to come with us now.

Mom?

Go with them. I'll be right behind you.

I gotta get my keys.

Will you come down with me?

Of course.

Please pick up, Branden. Please pick up.

Are you ready to go?

Yeah, I got into a fight, but...

That's not unusual; We're best friends.

And what was the fight about?

Your father's here.

Really?

We'll, uh... we'll give you a moment with him.

Mr. Shayne.

Hello, sweetheart.

It was you.

You can come back to me, Courtney.

We can start a new life. We can start a better life.

It doesn't have to be so difficult.

You're insane.

No, I'm actually very much still in control.

Every step you have taken,

I have been one step ahead of you.

You have a choice.

You can stay here and you can, um, go to prison...

For murder.

You come with me...

And we can live happily ever after.

- I can't. - You can.

And you will.

Let's go.

What? Right now? How?

Well, I have already told them

that you have been with me all afternoon.

So provided that you don't do anything to mess things up,

we are free to walk out of here.

And quite frankly,

given everything they know about you,

I would not be so quick to say anything

unless you wanna end up in a straitjacket.

If you know what I mean.

You made the right choice.

Courtney!

It does not have to be that difficult.

Now, you come to that island by midnight,

or I will brutally murder your mother!

Gosh!

Thanks, Ryan. You're a true friend.

Are you sure we can't just call the cops?

Yes.

Jesus, court.

Let's kill this asshole.

I, Bruce,

take thee, Courtney.

I, Bruce,

take thee, cour...

I, Bruce, take thee, Courtney.

I, Bruce, take thee, Alison.

That sounds about right.

Shh, you'll wake up my mom,

and it's almost suppertime.

You know, she wasn't there for me

the last time I got into the tiniest smidgen of trouble.

But now that she's helping provide

to feed my new family,

she will live through them again.

Your daughter's here,

just in time.

Now, you just wait right here.

Oh, it's a beautiful night

for a wedding, Alison.

I'm not Alison!

You will be whoever the hell I want you to be

because I saved your life.

- Got it? - Where's my mom?

She's alive.

Everything will be just fine if you come with me.

She's not going anywhere until we see Erica.

Ryan!

Oh, for god sakes.

No!

Alison.

Enough fun and games!

Can we just go?

God!

Mom!

Oh, my god, you're okay.

I was so worried.

Wait, where's... where's Jack... David...

- Bruce? - Bruce?

Alison.

Hurry. Hurry.

Alison.

Alison!

Mom!

Alison...

Why do you do this?

We could be so happy, you know?

Mom, come on!

You can't hide on an island, Alison!

It's not too late, Alison.

I'm not Alison.

You will always be my Alison.

Love is blind.

Whoa.

Babe.

Babe, please,

don't do this to me.

We can still be a happy family.

Don't you want our child to have a mom and a dad?

And I know that mistakes were made,

but we can be together...

Forever.

Till death do us part?

Till death do us part.

No, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no!

No!

Mom!

Mom.

Who else?

I'm sorry.

Sorry?

For disappointing you,

dragging you into this mess.

I... was just so scared. I...

no, this is not your fault.

None of this is your fault.

Mom, I...

Hey, whatever happens,

I will always be right beside you.

I promise.

Thank you, mom.

I love you.

I love you too.
